A 6,000-km undersea glass fiber phone line crosses the Atlantic ocean connecting the US and France. (a) How long does it take fo

r a message to transverse this link? (b) How long does it take for a message to travel from US to France by using a satellite link? The satellite is stationed about 22,000 miles above the earth between the US and France. (c) Will two people having a conversation across these two different links notice the travel delays?

Answer:

Explanation:

Message will travel through the fibre at the speed of 3 x 10⁸ m /s which is also the speed of light .

a ) Time for a message to travel from US to France by using glass fibre  link

time  = distance / speed

= 6000 x 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= .02 s .

b )

22000 miles = 1.6 x 22000

= 35200 km

Time for a message to travel from US to France by using a satellite link

time = distance / velocity

 distance = 2 x √ ( 35200² + 3000² )

=  2 x 35327 km

= .7 x 10⁸ m .

time = .7 x 10⁸ / 3 x 10⁸

= .233 s

c )

Difference of time = .233 - .02

= .213 which is more than 1/6 s for which effect of hearing stays in the brain , which is called persistence of vision .  So they will be heard as different sounds.

If a 5.5 kg object experiences 15 N of force for .15 seconds what is the speed change
Nady [450]

The speed change : Δv = 0.41 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 5.5 kg

Force = 15 N

time = 0.15 s

Required

the speed change

Solution

Newton 2nd's law

Impulse and momentum

F = m.a

F = m . Δv/t

F.t = m.Δv

Input the value :

15 N x 0.15 s = 5.5 kg x Δv

Δv = 0.41 m/s

Energy that vibrates electrons causing electricity
tresset_1 [31]
Answer: Electromagnetic waves are generated by moving electrons. An electron generates an electric field which we can visualize as lines radiating from the electron Figure 10a. If the electron moves, say it vibrates back and forth, then this motion will be transferred to the field lines and they will become wavy Figure 10b.
